Disclaimer: Er... as I hope all of you know, I have nothing to do with JK
Rowling... I just write my own versions of her stuff... the only things
that are mine are professor Hope, Madison and the plot.
A/N: Yup...it's been a few days, I know, I know. The pressures of being a Junior. High school can lick my ass for all I care. Damn homework, damn my clarinet, damn little slutty freshman, damn Brink... Robustus knows what I'm talking about. So yes, updates will be fewer with my going to hell every single day.

Harry, Ron and Hermione rushed with the rest of the Hufflepuffs up to the Gryffindor tower. No one totally knew what was going on, but there was tons of panic. Some girls were even crying as they ran past Harry. He managed to stop one of them.
"What's going on?" Harry asked concerned. "Why are you crying?" she tried to squirm out of his grip, but he wouldn't let her arm go.
"I don't know what's going on." She snapped. " Now let me go!" and with that, she yanked her arm away and hurried after her two friends.
"Honestly." Said Hermione. "Some girls are so stupid. Please promise me you won't date girls like that." Harry and Ron nodded silently in great agreement.
They soon arrived in the common room. The common room, built to hold only one fourth of the school, now look extremely tiny with one half of the students crammed in it. Madison was standing on one of the tables in a corner so everyone could see her. She raised her hand, almost like Dumbledore, to get everyone to be quiet. Once silence fell over the common room, Madison began to speak.
"Listen up. I need everyone to remain calm." She said calmly after throwing a deadly look at George who was in the back of the crowd pretending to cry. "I am here to clear up the rumors. Yes, there are goblins surrounding the school. We are still unsure why, but they are hostile."
Now all the students where still. Not even George moved.
"What I want you to do, is all the first years, go to the first year dorm. Second years to the second year dorm and third years to the third year dorm and so on." Madison ordered. "Show some hospitality and let our guests sit on your beds and relax. However, I want everyone to stay in the dorms. No one is to be down in the common room. I have the prefects down here and they will also be patrolling the staircases. If you are caught outside, even if you are a Hufflepuff, you will be disiplined. A detention with Flitch, in fact. I'm a student too, so I know how bad that is. Harry, Ron and Hermione, stay down here with me. I have something to tell you. Now everybody, upstairs!"
Right when Madison waved her arm in the arm, the students departed in a mad rush towards the staircase. Harry look at them curiously. Some of those Hufflepuffs probably haven't the faintest clue what they're doing. But as long as they're running, they'll be safe. He snorted to himself.
"I'm going to let you guys go into my dorm." Said Madison, breathlessly. "Before the teachers rushed out, Professor McGonagall transformed the glass in the dorm windows into wood so the students can't watch... just in case we lose someone." She said darkly. "She didn't board up my windows, however, because I won't be in there. I figured you guys might like it because it'll be less crowded and you can watch. Just go up the girls staircase. It'll be the first door on the left. The door has a locking charm that can be unlocked if you say, 'Welcome Home Kacey.'" She paused for a moment when she saw Harry blink at her. "er, I've been meaning to change that. I have to go help the teachers."
Before she left, she yanked the three of the younger students into an enormous bear hug. As Madison let go, she looked at the three of them before saying, "Stay there." She then ran off towards the portrait hole.
"Good luck!" yelled Ron after her. Madison turned around and gave him a weak smile before exiting. "Well... let's go on up."
~*~
Madison's dorm was unlike any of the other dorms Harry had ever seen. It was even nicer than Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunias bedroom, that is, whenever he wasn't caught in there trying to take some toilet paper because Dudley had thrown it around the front yard. Her room wasn't cold and it didn't have an ugly wood burning stove in the center it. Instead, she had a fireplace set in the wall opposite her bed. On top of her mantle stood a mixture of moving and still pictures. Some were her and Oliver, some where her and friends and family and one of Cedric, who was smiling and waving at Harry. On the wall next to the door sat her enormous desk with papers scattered and what looked like a laptop sitting upon it. In the corner stood a broomstick with the words, "Nimbus 2001" printed in gold on the handle. 'I didn't know she flew' thought Harry to himself.
On the other side of the fireplace was a wooden door that presumably led into the bathroom. Along the wall next to the window sat a small table with more pictures on it. It also had various candles sitting on it. Her window was a rather large bay window that over looked the lake, parts of the forbidden forest and the grounds near the entrance.
Harry, Ron and Hermione settled themselves on the cushion that was on the seat to look out the window. Hermione gasped when she saw nearly twenty goblins near the front entrance that Dumbledore, the professors and the Head Boy and Girl were blocking.
"They don't look to friendly, do they?" said Ron watching them advance on the humans. Hermione gasped again and pointed to various goblins all over the grounds. Some were by the lake, some were by the Quidditch field and more were still emerging from the forest. "Bloody hell, what do they want?"
"I have no idea." said Hermione, who was obviously scared to a point where her and Ron's fight wasn't important anymore. She grabbed his hand. Harry held back a snicker when he saw the look on Ron's face when she took his hand. He was concentrating so hard on what was happening that Hermione had apparently frightened him. "Oh no..."
A goblin that was abnormally larger than any of the others had approached Dumbledore. He was wearing a long brown clock. His hood was pulled over his face, but Harry could still tell it was angry. It seemed to be talking to Dumbledore as the other teachers, Stone and Madison were now hexing the goblins away. They were drawing nearer.
Suddenly, the clocked one took off it's hood. Next to a Dementor, it was the ugliest thing Harry had ever seen in his life. It's ears were just flat out enormous. It's grotesque nose was even longer and more crooked than Dumbledores. Even in the moonlight, you could see that nasty goblin was slimy. Light was bouncing off of it's ooze like nuts. 'It resembles Snape' Harry thought to himself. For a minute, he couldn't figure out why it had taken off it's hood. He quickly found out.
It opened it's mouth and emitted a blinding white light along with a ear-shattering, high pitched screech. All three pairs of hands flew up to cover their ears as they closed their eyes. 'I bet those other kids are flipping out and wondering what the hell this is all about.'
Just as quickly as it started, it stopped. Harry peeked open one eye to see what happened. The Head Boy and Madison were lying unconscious on the ground along with about half of the professors. Dumbledore was in a rage. He was sending goblins here and there flying with the flick of his hand. The ugly goblin, who was now hooded again, was still standing in front of Dumbledore. Harry had the distinct feeling that one knew they were watching. After Dumbledore had knocked about half of them to Greenland, he walked closer to the hooded thing. He whispered something to it, and suddenly, it turned and headed back towards the forest. Harry looked over at Ron and Hermione. Ron's mouth was gapped open in terror and his hand was a dark shade of purple, as Hermione was still clutching to it. Her eyes looked as though they were going to burst, they were so big. He looked back over to the entrance where Dumbledore and the teachers had already gotten all of the unconscious ones on stretchers. After the professors and the stretchers began to float inside, Dumbledore looked up at the window. He stared right at them for a good while before, he too, went back inside.
"Uh oh..." said Hermione uncertainly. "We're going to be in trouble, aren't we?"
"What else is new?" said Harry with a crooked grin.
"Who cares?" hissed Ron as he pried Hermione's hand off. "We got to go check on Madison and find out what the bloody blazes that was all about!"
